 I'm looking for an ethical analytics solutions. If you have some comparison articles or hands-on experience, please share with me. So far I found a note by @fidel: and podcast about plausible: 9 comments
 @abcdw Thanks for the mention! I went with Shynet for my personal sites because it was the simplest to self-host for me (single podman container with a SQLite DB), but for something bigger, like a company, I would go with Plausible. for mobile, Clean Insights by Guardian Project, it uses matomo, but can aggregate on-device and report less data, crucially omitting usage times.  @abcdw @fidel there is #OpenTelemetry @abcdw @fidel Hi Andrew! Try https://usermaven.com/. It is a great alternative, GDPR-compliant, simple, and accurate. It offers advanced features like pixel white-labeling, attribution, event tracking, and a contacts hub. @James_Perry @fidel Thank you for the link, but it doesn't seem to fit my requirements: source code isn't available, self-hosting isn't possible. @James_Perry @fidel One does not exclude the other :) Take a look at plausible for example: |

@abcdw I've used many proprietary analytics stacks in the past and have chosen Plausible for my own products. Really clean architecture, solid code -- it's an extremely good example of an Phoenix app in production. Tracking was setup as you would expect. Only minor part I had was when I set up the tracking for localhost was confusing -- not sure if that has changed but it wasn't more than a few minutes to figure out. I didn't try others, Plausible just ended up being perfect for me.
